Corsair ML fans and NZXT Manta

[askn0more]

Hello

I recently prepared a new gaming rig with;

Case: NZXT Manta
Motherboard: Asrock Ab350 Gaming ITX
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 Armor OC
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (Stock Fan)

While gaming gpu heat goes around 75-78 degree and i want to see it cooler. But i dont want to take gpu's cooler out and put aio cooler to not to void the warranty. So i decided to improve case airflow with some aftermarket fans. (Dont know how much advantage do i get with this method tho)

Besides, cpu is overclocked at 3.6 ghz and in stability test i see 64 degree of temperatures. Not bad with stock fan but i want to add a liquid cooler..

I choosed Corsair ML120 pro led model as fans for case and NZXT Kraken x52 for cpu.

My question is: Fan controller of case can control 7 fans but they are 3 pins of connectors. May i control those corsair ml120 4 pin pwm fans with this controller?

Second question: Will NZXT Kraken x52 have problems about connections with my mobo, case controller or those fans?

Thanks

Just to clarify, are you putting those corsair fans on your case, or on your kraken x52 radiator instead of whatever fans it comes with?

Ok so kraken itself according to specs uses Aer P 120 fans which are according to
https://www.nzxt.com/products/aer-p
4 pin pwm fans.
So...theoretically you could use http://www.corsair.com/en-us/ml120-pro-120mm-premium-magnetic-levitation-fan but I'm not sure how well CAM software that comes with kraken will play with them. Something to ask nzxt in advance. Their tech support should be able to tell you that.

As for fan controller, it depends on the controller. Typically kraken fans plug into their own set of connections, separate from case fans. As manual for x52 kraken demonstrates in steps 6 to 10: https://www.nzxt.com/manuals/krakenx
I wasn't aware that manta came with a fan controller. Does it? What model? If it's one of nzxt, then it may well have compatibility with kraken. Again something to ask nzxt about.
